Practicing Law In Cyberspace

Meeting in cyberspace is a great way to get connected and get many things done quickly and efficiently on a global basis. But cyberspace is not without its risks. Today, as this global community takes shape in cyberspace, there are no laws governing the conduct of those who take part in creating this new frontier. Historically, when frontier conditions have existed, lawyers have had a unique opportunity to fulfill our role as guardians of the rule of law. This is occurring once again. And along with our role we have the opportunity to redefine the nature and delivery of legal services. We have to start by learning how to harness the power of the forces which are creating this global community; in the process we can reinvent our law practices into whatever their 21st century counterpart will become.
